Date match Fri Apr 04, 2014 11:46 am • by chanq
Hi all, I have only recently bought Hazel, so I'm a bit of a novice. I am intrigued by the date match option and have successfully used it, but only on dates that don't contain any text after the day number, such as "st", "nd", "rd", "th". I hope this makes sense. I'd also be curious to know if this is a recognised date naming convention in the USA. It is quite common in the UK.

Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, it's not common to use "3rd" and such. I suggest using the (anything) token to cover any text after the day number.

Many thanks for that. I have tried what you suggest, but with no luck so far. However, I shall persevere.

Thanks once again.

If you can't figure it out, you can post the date you are trying to match and the pattern here.
